"Ideal base for short stay."

9.0

Breakfast was excellent and with very good & friendly service. Ideal as base for one or two nights. We were at a wedding nearby.

It was as we expected. The rooms are well equipped, though not luxurious. Slightly like purpose-built motel rooms at back of pub.

"Surprised and delighted!"

10.0

A tastefully and comfortably modernised pub in a somewhat downbeat village near the M1 and airport but surprisingly quiet. The M1 is white noise in the background. I couldn't hear the planes. Rooms in the pub's grounds were comfortable with parking right outside and the food was amazing, including breakfast. No soggy mushrooms! If I was a lone female traveller I would feel particularly safe here. Very happy that we broke our journey overnight and will definitely do so again.

Enjoyable stay in one of the pub's rooms at the back of the property. Nice big room with settee and two chairs, much better than having to sit on the bed. Tea and coffee, fridge and bottled water are nice extra touches provided for when you get back from a day exploring. Shower good, water hot plus soft towels ( much appreciated!) and very quiet location in a small village with a handy village store in walking distance. Great overall stay.

"Good choice for us with everything we needed for a stopover."

8.0

Everything excellent for us . Very helpful and pleasant staff, good location for us on our way from Newcastle to London, nice, well equipped rooms, easy convenient parking and good food in the restaurant

Only downside is that we were then when there was a 21st birthday do - which was a little noisy - as you would expect

"Sunny stay in Lougbnorough."

9.0

Beautiful village, great.location, peaceful, very clean. Lovely reastaurant. Great facilities, you literally park.outside your accomadation. Outdoor bar.area and Garden room ( now evryone needs one.of those) Slightly pricey for 2 nights. You have The Falcon Inn nearby. Bradgate park. Beacon hill. Shepshed and Ashby-de-la-zouch. Visited friends nearby. X

No bath but a large fab.shower. The seating area near the field could benefit with a few flower pots or shrubs. Seems to be set.up for business men and adults. If you want families put a play area at the back.

"Disappointing"

4.0

Breakfast was good and it looks like they have a nice restaurant though we did not use it

The room really looked nothing like the pictures on their website and on Booking.com where they are shown to look warm and cosy. In fact our room and bathroom were painted in a dismal shade of grey and looked cold, grim and uninviting. The bathroom had absolutely nowhere to put anything - not a shelf, a cupboard or even a hook. The worst thing was that I accidentally left a few items of underwear in a drawer in the bedroom. As soon as I got home and unpacked, I realised what had happened and immediately emailed the pub asking if they could possibly post the items to me and, of course, offering to pay for postage etc etc. I received no reply so, a couple of days later, telephoned and spoke to a young woman who said she would look into it and ring me back. Again, I heard nothing so have been forced to write off my belongings.
